Looks like a contract dump to me.
Simek is UFA. Kostin had one more season and failed to deliver on all counts. It was either a trade or waivers for him.
He's been in the AHL all year, so I assume they're adding depth for a Grand Rapids run. This has to precipitate a logjam release in Detroit.
Well he better polish that Holl and send him packing!dcz28 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:01 pm Don't think Yzerman is bringing in anyone today. All that is left is turds and no point in trading for a turd unless you give one back. Just because the turd is the nicer one of the pile, it's not worth trading for it...it's still just a turd. He only brings someone in if it's a good upgrade that can play for a few years at least, not a rental unless Holl is going the other way just to get rid of his contract.
I think Yzerman will need to buff that Holl turd with a prospect or pick in the summer to flush it down to another team.DelHowLich wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:05 pmWell he better polish that Holl and send him packing!dcz28 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 2:01 pm Don't think Yzerman is bringing in anyone today.

Philly took all his cap hit and gave up a '24 4th
